GHANA PUTS ON A SMILE (PAGE 1)

Written on Saturday, December 1, 2012 (Six days to elections)

The confidence of the Nigerian, the curiosity of the American, the discipline of the Japanese, the conservativeness of the German, the gallant nature of the Russian or the openness of the British all combined can never equate the 'natural log' of a Ghanaian.

Where natural log equals 99.9% of the average Ghanaian's ability. Below are 5 reasons (with examples) why the Ghanaian stands out;

1. Multitalented!
a)A Ghanaian striker ‘Suarezes’ a continent and a week later becomes a superstar rapper.
b)A flagbearer enters a laboratory…pardon me...a debate room; and comes out with a cough mixture

2. Invented Shortcuts
a)10 cedis is enough to take you to and back from the sun! (Trust me…through Navrongo)
b)First in line at a Metro Mass station, seven people after me get their tickets and the bus is already full! (Magic!)

3. Brilliant!
a)An unemployed graduate frustrated from a job search thinks outside the box. Sets up the UNEMPLOYMENT GRADUATES' ASSOCIATION and is now in business!
b)Police stops an overloaded truck and inspects the driver, not the car!

5. Accomodating!
a)Woman on first seat buys a bottle of coca cola and turns around to the rest of us, “You are invited”.
b)Accidentally stepped on the shoe of a macho man, “Oh sorry!” He responds, “No worry, you can do it again” (Huh?)

Kwame Nkrumah rose for change; first independent state in Africa (Something to brag about!)
 “Let us call her Ghana”  J. B. Dankwa had blasted! Amon Kotey  got busy and drew the Coat of  Arms,
Theodisia Okoh sampled colours to produce a stupendous beauty; The National Flag.

Ephraim Amu carved the heavenly words, “Yen ara asaase ni” and Philip Gbeho presented to the us the golden lines of our National Pledge and Anthem.
Ghana was born!

A nation with uncountable natural resources on her soils; but her greatest resource not found in the ground for men to trample on.
Her greatest resource is deep in the hearts of her people.
A resource so affordable money cannot buy!
Yet remains the world’s scarcest commodity.
A resource to keep; with or without Dec 7th 
A resource called PEACE


A short quiz before we vote;
Five representatives of each of the political parties were put in a room with their hands tied behind their back. They all feel sleepy over time.
How different will their ‘yawning’ be based on their party colours?

Wrong! Think again!
